Cocktail Description
The Bayou Breeze cocktail delivers a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and citrus flavors that transport you straight to the humid warmth of Louisiana.
This beautiful ruby-colored drink combines the orange essence of Grand Marnier with the fruity whiskey notes of Southern Comfort, while cranberry juice provides a tangy backbone and fresh lime brightens every sip. The flavors meld together remarkably well, creating a surprisingly complex yet approachable cocktail that's neither too sweet nor too strong. Ideal for summer gatherings or as a pre-dinner aperitif, the Bayou Breeze works equally well for casual backyard barbecues or more refined dinner parties. Fortunately, it's quite simple to prepare—just a quick shake with ice and strain—making it accessible even for novice home bartenders. This versatile sipper pairs beautifully with spicy Cajun dishes, smoky grilled meats, or fresh seafood, highlighting the cocktail's Southern heritage.
